That's one of my major annoyances with the current state of local model infrastructure: All the cruft around what should be a simple matter of downloading and using a file. All these cache directories and file renaming and config files that point to all of these things. The special, bespoke downloading cli tools. It's just kind of awkward from the point of view of someone who is used to just using simple CLI tools that do one thing. Imagine if sqlite3 required all of these paths and hashes and downloaders and configs rather than letting you just run:

   sqlite3 my database.db
